    Only an idiot would buy a football club with the expectation of making money, without having to put money in first.

    I think I’ve answered my own riddle.

    As many owners do, its been discuss many times, I believe someone posted a list of around a dozen people who owned football clubs but the ground was not part of the deal, that was a separate issues the club owners being sole owners of the ground to who the club payed rent.

    Is there a clear vision about how we achieve that or is it just wishful thinking? Is this the same Ryan who recently stated that since he has been CEO, Rupp has invested zero in city? It's all well and good having these lofty ambitions but they are meaningless without a coherent plan around how we go about pulling it off and right now, I don't see one.

    An honest perspective from the owner of Blackpool football club, whose ownership has been questioned by sections of their fan base over the last few months. That after pumping in £18 million of his own money and another £5 million this season to give them a figure he reports as a top 6 league 1 budget, culminating in the biggest fee for a league 1 player this season.
    He admits about the dividing line between his ultimate aim of self sustainability and ambition, currently being at the ambitious side of the fence.

    I think their fans need a massive reality check after the turbulent recent past they've had, we could only dream of someone pumping that sort of money into the club.

    It’s starting to go wrong at Huddersfield, Warnock was given a transfer budget by their new American owner only to find the budget had to include the re-signing of current players, then the owner had a go at team after the 4-0 defeat to Norwich which annoyed Warnock.
